A lot? People always look back and reflect on really good or really disastrous teams that have played in the PL. No, not a lot. Who really talks about the five teams with the lowest point in PL history - I would suggest very few people. You're just creating a narrative and different angle to critic...

I knew Villa and Sunderland were in there but not their respective points total.

How many times have you heard about or discussed the worst five teams in PL history, or is this just about finding something else to kick at when we are down?

taio

Cullen and Berge controlled the middle of the park - shame about the first and final third.

VK simply has to get more than 19 points; we do not want to be known as one of the five worst teams in PL history. https://theanalyst.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lowest-points-in-a-premier-league-season.png https://theanalyst.com/eu/2024/02/worst-premier-league-teams/ https://theanalyst.com/eu/2...

Baffling how long we were taking on the ball at the back when we were getting beat.

It's not the club model It's his model that he sold to the Board, and helped him convince Pace to spend circa £100m this summer on kids Not sure how many we actually signed this summer for £100m but that figure would have brought some reasonable experience into the side if Kompany had decided that ...

Not sure how anyone can watch that and conclude that O'Shea was MOM.

A player manager is a way forward it would be a good start for Ben Mee

There's absolutely no chance Mee should be dropping down to play in League 2

Muric starting today, will give us a better chance of winning the game for one reason. The change in atmosphere around the ground.

It's a good point. There just have to enforced changes. Very risky if Kompany doesn't.

taio

Odobert should be dropped. A complete luxury that we can’t afford currently. His performance level has certainly dropped. Personally I'd still start him today because he's one of our players most likely to open up Bournemouth. If he doesn't perform and show enough desire in the first half he should...

Give credit for any decent saves Traff has made, just don't think he's particularly made many and his overall positioning is dreadful.

You are so entrenched in the Trafford/Muric divide - you highlighting and labelling that save as 'cracking' exemplifies that point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud_61KGbDEk Cracking save by our best goalkeeper at 00:56 as well If you look on SofaScore/FOTmob at the players' average positions in that game vs the league games you'll notice that the players are a lot more spread out over the pitch. Wonder why :P It was a standa...

If we get beat today without any changes, I fear there will be a significantly different tone at the Turf today, and Kompany would be leaving himself wide open.

He was definitely a Forest fan late eighties/early nineties.

Gordon is my wife’s uncle. Still going strong and only retired from the family coal business a couple of years ago which. He retired from teaching shortly after Habergham closed in the Building Schools for the Future project.

Does he still have them orange shorts?

Gordon Alison, a Forest fan

Habergham had some brilliant Maths teachers - Saunders, Blezard, Sutcliffe, Bentley

Yeah and Kompany might be on Talksport in years to come with Saunders. Two ex pros who played at highest level and another thing in common….. failed football managers.

Futile argument

Check the Final PL Table for 2021/22 and you will discover it was the 3 lowest scoring teams that were relegated not those that conceded most goals. That is a fact. Burnley only conceded 53 goals that season and plenty of clubs above us conceded more than that. We don’t create enough chances and th...

We aren’t going down because of our keeper - it’s because we can’t score goals or pass accurately

It's multifaceted, including lack of goals, but our defensive weaknesses and mistakes, and the high number of goals conceded, which Trafford has clearly contributed to, have been crucial.

taio

Mee was excellent for us. But saying he was better than Tarkowski is stretching it somewhat.

It's refreshing to see a subject that hasn't been, or has rarely been, discussed on here

In reading that article I'm not seeing where she is speaking on behalf of "all" fans.
It comes across as a reasonable reflection of what many people are posting on this forum.

'Burnley fans are completely disengaged from this team and this manager.'

La Liga has a salary/budget cap
Real Madrid do well in Europe
They’re also widely regarded as the biggest club in world football

English football is known for overpaying average players

Real Madrid's salary cap exceeds €700m.

Was a really good post I agreed with until “The only way ALK will make money out of Burnley is by selling the club.”. Consider the size of the investment (low), that most of it was debt (which will gradually get paid back) and the ever increasing fees for players even from mid ranked teams (e.g. Ca...

Can nothing be raised on fan advisory board about Trafford. This is cruelty to the lad now, putting him on the firing line every game. Not only that, Muric's distribution is what made us so dangerous last season. For some reason VK can't see around it. Good grief. One has to wonder how someone can ...

Not 100% accurate but that isn't "cheap", it's well invsted, no doubt.

I was referring to the point about the value of the outgoings being relevant.

The standard of the opposition last season is starkly different to this season. That's the mean reason.

I am flummoxed how people are still looking to blame Pace. Kompany is the manager, Kompany scouted the players (using his scouting network), Kompany has failed to deliver. Kompany HAS to go this weekend. Pace has backed his man, it worked last year, it’s failed this year. Some of the people on this...

Changes are essential

I'd go:

Muric
Assignon O'Shea Esteve Taylor
Cork Cullen
Gudmundsson Berge Odobert
Fofana

With Benson getting plenty of minutes

It's one to add to the list of baffling decisions.
